Gardens/Silk Road + gainer + +Buy — Harem + Upgrade
Cheap alt-VP piles score best when you can gain/buy many cards per turn to pad the deck count — the generalized Beggar/Gardens pattern.

Crossroads/Shepherd-style payoffs for revealing/discarding Victory cards pair naturally with Gardens/Silk Road-style rush plans.
